==
Round 1
==
01. Carolina Panthers - QB Cameron Newton, Auburn
With the pick of the crop, Panthers need a quarterback to improve on 2 win total.
==
02. Denver Broncos - DT Marcel Dareus, Alabama
Broncos defensive line is in shambles, Dareus is a big time player who can occupy several roles.
==
03. Buffalo Bills - LB Von Miller, Texas A & M
Bills defense lacks pass rush and star power. Miller can make game-changing plays.
==
04. Cincinnati Bengals - QB Blaine Gabbert, Missouri
Bengals have upheaval at starting quarterback position, Gabbert should show well at pro day.
==
05. Arizona Cardinals - CB Patrick Peterson, L.S.U.
Cards have cornerback needs and would draft pp7, if only to mess with the Niners.
==
06. Cleveland Browns - WR Julio Jones, Alabama
Browns need a home run hitter, Jones worked out great and fits well in Browns offensive system.
==
07. San Francisco 49ers - CB Prince Amukamara, Nebraska
Niners have a dire need in the secondary, Amukamara has superior man-to-man skills.
==
08. Tennessee Titans - DE J.J. Watt, Wisconsin
Titans need defensive line, Watt is the rare productive hustle player who also is workout warrior.
==
09. Dallas Cowboys - DT Nick Fairley, Auburn
Cowboys have few impact defenders, Fairley has played huge in big games.
==
10. Washington Redskins - WR A.J. Green, Georgia
Green was a spectacular player in the SEC, the Skins will swoop when a blue-chip player drops.
==
11. Houston Texans - DE Cameron Jordan, California
Texans need to add to the pass rush, Jordan can impact in Phillips' 3-4 scheme.
==
12. Minnesota Vikings - QB Jake Locker, Washington
Vikings have several needs but quarterback is probably the most vital .
==
13. Detroit Lions - OT Nate Solder, Colorado
Solder has top 5 measurables but due to raw technique will be available later in the round.
==
14. St. Louis Rams - DE Aldon Smith, Missouri
Rams have needs along their defensive front and can use a weak-side pass rusher like Smith.
==
15. Miami Dolphins - RB Mark Ingram, Alabama
Ingram fits the new OC's system and is a complete running back ready to start early.
==
16. Jacksonville Jaguars - DE Ryan Kerrigan, Purdue
Jags need a reliability at defensive end, Kerrigan is a 4 year starter/captain type that Gene Smith loves.
==
17. New England Patriots (VIA OAK) - OT Anthony Castonzo, Boston College
Pats have never really reloaded the left side of their offensive line, Castonzo is a steady pick.
==
18. San Diego Chargers - DE Cameron Heyward, Ohio State
Chargers need a 5-tech for their defensive front, Heyward is a safe legacy choice.
==
19. New York Giants - LB Martez Wilson, Illinois
Giants have needs at several lb spots, Wilson is a premium athlete could be better pro than college player.
==
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - DE Da'Quan Bowers, Clemson
Bucs continue to rebuild along the defensive front, Bowers stock could be affected by knee injury.
==
21. Kansas City Chiefs - DE Robert Quinn, North Carolina
Chiefs need pass rushing ability and Quinn is a boom/bust player with value this late in the frame.
==
22. Indianapolis Colts - OT Tyron Smith, U.S.C.
Every year we seem to project Colts upgrading left tackle (and get it wrong). Are we crazy?
==
23. Philadelphia Eagles - CB Jimmy Smith, Colorado
If there's no CBA, Eagles won't be able to sign a CB and will have to draft one.
==
24. New Orleans Saints - DE Justin Houston, Georgia
Saints lack pass rushers, Houston worked out well and fits their system nicely.
==
25. Seattle Seahawks - QB Ryan Mallett, Arkansas
Seahawks have other needs but may see the value in developing a QB for long term.
==
26. Baltimore Ravens - WR Leonard Hankerson, Miami
Ravens' pass offense failed them at crucial points, Miami guys tend to succeed in Baltimore.
==
27. Atlanta Falcons - DE Jabaal Sheard, Pittburgh
Falcons need to plan for life after John Abraham, Sheard is rising after great workouts .
==
28. New England Patriots - DE Adrian Clayborn, Iowa
This defense tends toward larger players and Clayborn has Pats ties through Kirk Ferentz.
==
29. Chicago Bears - OT Gabe Carimi, Wisconsin
Bears offensive line is shaky; even though he's the Outland Trophy winner, Carimi is under-rated.
==
30. New York Jets - LB Brooks Reed, Arizona
Jets lack depth at the OLB position and Reed is strong hustle player: Rex Ryan type of defender.
==
31. Pittsburgh Steelers - CB Brandon Harris, Miami
Teams have picked on certain Steelers cornerbacks all season, they need to upgrade.
==
32. Green Bay Packers - DT Christian Ballard, Iowa
Packers D-Line has several free agents, Ballard could be a better pro than college player.
